TALES & SCALES will hold standing auditions in the spring of 2010. We are looking for creative and adventuresome performing artists interested in interdisciplinary performing and teaching.

Tales & Scales (www.talesandscales.org) is the nation’s only musictelling ensemble.

Tales & Scales professional artists maintain a full-time schedule reaching over 20,000 young people each year through performances, classroom workshops, residencies, and an annual summer camp. Tales & Scales tours primarily locally and regionally – but also nationally – to schools, libraries, community centers, arts centers, and periodically performs with symphony orchestras.
